VTT and Outokumpu conducted a life cycle carbon footprint study of semitrailer truck with stainless steel tank. Two different tank materials were compared, taking into account raw material manufacturing, manufacturing of the tank, use of fuel, and total emissions.

VTT offers energy efficient and cost optimal solutions for the design and operation of new and renovated buildings. This goal is achieved by finding optimal components in the building envelope and energy systems, which includes onsite energy-generation, conversion and storage.

The project utilized VTT's long experience on energy efficient building and indoor air quality. The building can offer housing to meet present and future needs of senior citizens. The building also meets future environmental requirements.

How to create attractive and cost efficient close to zero energy district. In addition what kind of building and energy solutions are needed for optimised investment, and running costs, as well as decreased energy and CO2 emissions.
